Basically, I described why it’s important reconnect with your local minister, especially that one minister who’s stopped sending clients your way.

A minister has a lot of control over his “flock,” including making recommendations about which funeral home to use. Often, a family who has experienced a death will call their minister before choosing a funeral home.

Don’t overlook this important referral mechanism.

Next Wednesday (or any other free day next week) take a minister to lunch and just chat about his/her church. You’ll be surprised the things you’ll learn.

Tim, I just wanted to suggest a backup plan that may get you more points with the church. “Ask the Church Secretary for Lunch” or at least drop off something to her/him when you go to pickup the minister. Nowadays – particularly in larger towns / churches the office staff at the church by nature build relationships with members and usually are the first point of contact. So in case the minister is out golfing with your competitor – take the secretary out to lunch.
